How to get your Mexican Citizenship | Everything You Need to Know for 2024!

This is a short video on how to get your Mexican Citizenship. I was confused going through the process with the other videos on youtube so I tried making it short with as much information to get you feeling confident and knowledgeable. In this video I talk about:
The Docs needed
-Your birth certificate, passport, and drivers license, application
-Your parents Mexican birth certificates, passports and drivers license
*Also their marriage certificate if they got married before having you.
-How to schedule your appointment with the consulate
Getting your dual citizenship and passport on the same day!
-Pros and cons of being a dual citizenship
This is the link for the application you need to fill out: chrome-extension://hbgjioklmpbdmemlmbkfckopochbgjpl/file:///C:/Users/ab301/Downloads/SOLICITUD%20RC%20v090418.pdf

I scheduled my appointment on the internet for at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles on 04/11/2024. I selected "Passport etc" (it was wrong). I took they day off. They turned me away for not selecting the correct choice "registro Civil" was the correct choice. They told me to call again. It takes days before they have appointments available. Parking is $20.00 across the street..

You have to get your Mexican citizenship first BEFORE the Mexican passport, re watch the vid so you can see the proper steps. Sorry you missed work bro🙏🏽

Did your birth certificate need an apostille?

Thank you so much for this video. My parents have been divorced 20+ yrs. My dad is the only one who is MX....My bro and i want to apply for dual citizenship and hopefully for an MX passport. I hope they allow us to share the same appointment. Im glad to know we only have to bring that "1 parent." 😅 We couldn't imagine bringing both parents, especially my mom, lol 😂

[@JorgeTorres-xk4yi]

Well in-depth video. Great job, my friend. Keep up the good work.

[@MariaOfTheLight]

I’ve had mine for a while, since my parents did all the leg work when I was born. This is pretty good info. The only thing I do take issue with is the “no sabo” dig. My first language is Spanish, and I strongly feel everyone should know at least two languages, what I don’t agree with is belittling those who don’t. Por encima de todo, el respeto y la integridad hacia los demás y hacia nosotros mismos.

[@evagarza6088]

Mine went really smooth, I just needed one parent

When you get your Mexican passport always choose 10 years because you will pay less in the long term and you will need it either way so you will save more money

1st of all, thank you sir for this valuable info: Q: when you talked about the getting an original Mexican Birth Cert, I assume you were talking about your parents, right? In my Case my 17 year old son would like to get his dual citizenship and we are just getting all our ducks lined up. We will eventually just drive down to the LA consulate with all our paper work. In regards of Cancun, could you provide us with more info please. thank you again.

[@28wealth]

Very informational video, have a quick question. What about if one parent was born in Mexico & the other was born in another country and is living in their country

[@adrianbalderasc]

You can still get it through the Mexican parent, you would just bring all their documents and go through the same process. Make sure to double check with the consulate near you

[@matthewj23]

Im a Hispano my ancestry traces back to Northern New Mexico USA my family predates the United States. I have no family or connections south of the border. Prior to the U.S it was Mexico and then it was New Spain. I am a Mestizo half Spanish half Native American who identifies strongly with my New Mexican heritage. I am descendent of the people prior to the United States taking over I am wondering what would be needed from someone that is deeply rooted in the Southwest U.S to claim dual citizenship?

[@adrianbalderasc]

If your parents are Mexican then go for it, I don’t think they’ll accept it tracing your ancestry though

[@apmoc23]

Good video!! Thanks 👍👍

[@omargomez4767]

Hey Boss, What if you have the long birth certificate but not the short one? I'm reading that long one is the most important since it is extremely detailed of my birth. Do I need the short one?

[@adrianbalderasc]

I saw a comment that said you no longer need the short one but when you call the consulate to make the appointment just ask and they will let you know if it’s ok or not.

I am going to get mine as well. But I'm wondering if I can get my wife and kids a passport also all at the same time

[@rudychavez7368]

I’m very interested im doing this im just curious how it will work with my parents who are now American Citizens and do not have Mx passports or driver license

[@adrianbalderasc]

Try to see if they can grab their original documents. Just because they’re American doesn’t mean they can’t. They would just have to show proof that they’re Mexicans

[@rockerbaby0403]

If your parents are naturalized US citizens, they are still Mexican citizens as well since the US does not require you forfeit your original citizenship. If they know their CURP you can get a valid copy of their birth certificate online to print at home. As long as you have that and their US ID/DL, it should meet the qualifications for ID verification.

[@jwayblanco4087]

Does my mom have to go if she wasn’t born in Mexico she’s from Honduras and my dad would have to make a power of attorney for me since we live in different states

[@adrianbalderasc]

If you’re over 18 no, just bring the right information that the consulate requests

[@AdrianC-v1f]

When you said PASSPORT AND/OR DRIVERS LICENSE. , could it be just the drivers license? I've had a passport but lost it so could I just take the drivers license? Thanks

[@adrianbalderasc]

Yes that’s fine when you call the consulate for your appointment just let them know

[@janedoe63214]

What happens if both parents are deceased?

[@rockerbaby0403]

Same requirements. You would just need to present their death certificates as well.

[@ulisesramirez2944]

Solo pide el acta de nacimiento de tus padres y listo con eso compruebas que son mexicanos y deben estar apostillados

[@richardoa623]

Question What if i was born before my parent Marriage, Can i just use one to be present? both my parents are going through a divorce and cant see eye to eye..

[@adrianbalderasc]

I’d say ask them to come to an agreement for their child and if not then try and go with one parent and you’d just need a copy of the others information to bring

[@PicasoInk]

What if you have one parent American citizen and the other Mexican? Or does it have to be both.

[@adrianbalderasc]

It can be through one parent, when you call the consulate for your appointment just let them know and they’ll tell you what you need to do

[@nermle323]

Does it make a difference if I was married thus my Maiden name is no longer , as I use my married name now?

[@adrianbalderasc]

I believe all the information would have to match, the marriage certificate, birth certificate and the rest of the documents. Call the consulate and ask so that they can tell you exactly what you need to do

[@Angel-gn4iy]

Ok what if my parents are divorced ? And I don't have any contact with my father? Can I only use my mothers info ?

[@adrianbalderasc]

Yes just let the consulate know that he’s not present. Hey may or may not be on your birth certificate but if he’s not present then it shouldn’t be a problem

[@kagevista3375]

My mother told me I may qualify for a Mexican citizenship because of my great-grandfather on her side, is that true too?

[@rockerbaby0403]

You probably already got this figured out but have you tried going to your local registro civil office if you are in Mexico? I’m sure they can get that sorted out for you.

[@goner4150]

So my mom lives in Puebla and I live in Colorado. When I visited her I gave the registro civil all the required paperwork and left them my moms contact info to continue the process. She picked up my mexican acta de nacimiento and CURP clave... neither have my photo and need to go get my passport, can I show my US driver license even though it doesnt have my second last name like my mexican acta?

[@rockerbaby0403]

@@goner4150 If it’s anything like getting your INE over there, you can bypass it by taking a witness that is willing to swear they know you to verify your identity. But they need to show their ID to vouch for you.

[@goner4150]

@ I went to my local consulado and they said I can use my acta+Colorado ID to get my passport and then INE after that. I am more interested in the passport but would be awesome to get both while I am there right?

[@JuniorLA213]

In my case my father passed , and my mom does not have a Mexican passport only From US. What can I do it that case ?

[@rockerbaby0403]

@@JuniorLA213 Are you trying to claim Mexican citizenship via both your parents? It’s still very doable. You’ll have to have both parents Mexican birth certificates and your father’s death certificate. If you are over the age of 18, your parents are not required to go with you, but you do have to present their marriage certificate if they were married. That should satisfy the ID requirement for your parents so you shouldn’t need to present a photo ID for them.

[@rockerbaby0403]

Yes, you only need to prove one of your parents or ancestors were Mexican. If you are of age, you technically don’t even need to have your parent(s) there. Just have their original Mexican birth certificate and copies of current ID.

[@nixiee3856]

Literally wondering the same 😕

[@adrianbalderasc]

If they have their Mexican passports that’s fine, the consulate should take that as a form of identification.

[@adrianbalderasc]

They shouldn’t bring their US passports they’d bring their license, birth certificate and another from of ID

[@BeefZupreme]

So if i become mexican birth certificate and i work in the USA i pay both to us and Mexico???

[@adrianbalderasc]

If you mean you'd have to pay taxes to both countries then no. If you have income coming in from Mexico INTO the US or vice versa then yes but I'd recommend talking to a consultant about that.

[@adrianbalderasc]

Excuse the late response but I was 19 when I did it and because the consulate wasn’t busy I was able to make one appointment and do it same day

[@juanpeace3y2d]

​@@adrianbalderasc I ended up having mine done in mexico via insertion/inscription of foreign birth certificate so I only have one last name and my suffix, the consulado took months to schedule a dual citizenship appointment so I did it through a lawyer in mexico (they already had my documents because they to annul a invalid acta that had me as born in mexico) So my US and mexico passports show my name as Juan Iguana Jr. If I did it in the consulado as a normal birth registration it would've been Juan Iguana Sanchez. I'm glad to have both documents matching as I know people always need to clarify why names don't fully match since mexico gives you the extra surname
